Cover of the UX Writing Guide.

UX writing guide

Company, General

The German UPA's UX Writing working group has developed a new guide that provides practice-orientated answers to the question: How can good UX writing succeed? Building on the principles and heuristics of the first guide, the current publication shows how UX writing can be systematically integrated into the human-centred design process.

The guide is based on a broad collection of best practices and experiences from the UX community, gained through discussions with experts, barcamp sessions and workshops. The result is a valuable compendium of:

Methods for integrating UX writing into design processes
Tools for everyday professional life
Practical tips for clear, user-centred texts

We are delighted that our employee Laura Nusser has made a significant contribution to this project as a member of the working group. With her experience in UX writing, she played a key role in the development of this practice-orientated guide.

The work in the working group was a great opportunity to bring together diverse perspectives and experiences. This made an important contribution to the further development of user-centred texts.

Now available: The guide is now available to download from the German UPA working group website.

„We discovered BUSSE Design+Engineering through online research. Contacting them for a functional model led to a contract for a technical redesign. Due to our concept changes, Redesign II was initiated and realized in a prototype, earning a golden award at the 2019 Ambiente trade fair. BUSSE executed the project with precision, on schedule, and with excellent craftsmanship. We look forward to future collaboration with BUSSE."
